Having attended the last five Holiday Parties with Craigmeur Ski ClubÂ at the Exchange, I can say this last one had the MOST dancing by the MOST people for MOST of theÂ time.Â DJ Earl offered a great selection with requests from the floor.Â Â Thanks to Karen Blaine, we had a circle of fun with individuals strutt’n their stuff!Â Not only did the dancing make many happy, but the menu was aÂ pleaser, too!Â Those that chose to stand off on the side lines were having fun watching others enjoy themselves.Â Plenty of “Grab Bags” made the holiday spirit as well as the “spirit” behind the bar!Â We totalled almost 50 of good fun loving Craigmeur “family” members.Â Looking forward to another “dancing” event next year.Â Watch out for Larry on the dance floor.Â Yes people, I said Larry actually danced…it was so much fun!Â (Next year I want to see Hans and Lee step up to the plate.Â Come on guys….even the Swiss Chef was able to move his feetÂ with some kind of rhythm.)Â See you on the dance floor next year!
